Default Discovered: A 1909 Article Describing the T206 Craze

Posted By: bz

Historic newspapers are truly the only time machine that we have. They were printed at the moment, and captured that moment to convey to us now.

This article is a great example of this! Great piece!

If you feel this is interesting, then imagine reading colonial newspapers that report the Boston Massacre, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, or the victory at Yorktown! Those are even more amazing considering we get to travel to the birth of our nation. Hard to believe, but those papers are alive and well(quite scarce)...you fellas would enjoy them immensely.

Going back to a previous debate, notice how it says baseball "pictures" and not cards, in the article. So what really is considered a card happy.gif
